Hormones? Shatavari!

Are you struggling with hormones? You’re not alone! Up to 75% of women may experience hormonal imbalances during their lifetime. ¹ Hormonal imbalance doesn’t just affect women; men can struggle with hormonal imbalances too.

What are hormones, anyway?

Hormones are chemical messengers that are secreted directly into the blood from your endocrine glands. ² There are the ” happy hormones,” that impact your mood, but you’re also affected on daily basis by hormones like insulin, growth hormones, adrenaline, estrogen, and testosterone. These important biochemicals can impact your:

Metabolism & appetite
Sleep regulation & quality
Reproductive health & sex drive
Growth & development
Mood & Stress

If you’re looking for a natural answer to hormone imbalance, consider shatavari! This is a type of asparagus plant that has been used for centuries in Indian Ayurvedic medicine. It is commonly used to promote fertility and assist with the female reproductive system.³

Shatavari is also known as an adaptogenic herb. This means it helps normalise hormones and brings everything back into balance, whether high or low.

Emerging research on Shatavari suggests it can improve hormonal imbalances and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).⁴ Other studies also show that it may help reduce the symptoms of menopause.⁵

Here are some other significant benefits you could gain from taking Shatavari daily:

1. Boosted Immune system

Shatavari has anti-oxidant and anti-viral properties.⁶ These factors all contribute to protecting your body from damage and disease. It may also speed up your recovery time when ill.⁷

2. Better blood sugar regulation

This may help maintain healthy blood sugar regulation by stimulating insulin production.⁸ It shouldn’t be taken alongside blood sugar medications – but otherwise can be helpful.

3. Ulcer treatment

This herb has the potential for healing ulcers throughout the digestive tract. Alongside Ashwagandha, it may also help with ulcer prevention.⁹

4. Younger skin

The antioxidant properties of Shatavari can also benefit your skin. The saponins in Shatavari can reduce free-radical skin damage that leads to wrinkles. It may also reduce the breakdown of natural collagen.¹⁰ As collagen helps maintain your skin’s elasticity – this means nicer skin and fewer wrinkles!
And more!

Shatavari can also improve milk production in lactation through your hormones. It may also help with IBS and reduce diarrhoea.¹¹ As it is an adaptogen – it can provide benefits across the entire body.
